| dc.description.abstract | A robust design optimization (RDO) approach for minimum weight and safe shell composite structures with minimal variability into design constraints under uncertainties is proposed. A new concept of feasibility robustness associated to the variability of design constraints is considered. So, the feasibility robustness is defined through the determinant of variance–covariance matrix of constraint functions introducing in this way the joint effects of the uncertainty propagations on structural response. A new framework considering aleatory uncertainty into RDO of composite structures is proposed. So, three classes of variables and parameters are identified: deterministic design variables, random design variables and random parameters. The bi-objective optimization search is performed using on a new approach based on two levels of dominance denoted by Co- Dominance-based Genetic Algorithm (CoDGA). The use of evolutionary concepts together sensitivity analysis based on adjoint variable method is a new proposal. The examples with different sources of uncertainty show that the Pareto front definition depends on random design variables and/or random parameters considered in RDO. Furthermore, the importance to control the uncertainties on the feasibility of constraints is demonstrated. CoDGA approach is a powerfully tool to help designers to make decision establishing the priorities between performance and robustness. | pt_PT |
